Hi Everyone
I hope that you have all had a wonderful Sunday.
When I hung the washing out this morning I could have sworn I was in Spain!! Beautiful blue skies and glorious sunshine.
I don't know about you but a summer full of days like today would be just perfect for me.
My day has been spent buying ribbons .. .. I can't believe how good I was. I walked in with a list of everything I needed and didn't take a single thing extra!! What a good girl!! LOL!!
.. .. and then of course there was the cuddling and sniffing of that lovely new baby to do too. I love the smell of new babies (unless their nappies don't need changing of course).
I used to work with the baby's Mum a good few years ago and this is her second little boy.
Her eldest boy will be five this year and he was such a well behaved and polite young boy. Definitely a credit to their Mum and Dad.
So time flew by and it has made for a very quick snippet make today for Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge.
You wouldn't believe how many snippets I have of this pale cream card .. .. all left over from wedding work .. .. and of course I can't throw any away!! I am going to have to find some inventive ways of using it otherwise I will have as many of these as I have white snippets .. ..eeekkk!!!!
As always when I manage to post my snippet make on a Sunday I allow myself to be lazy and not list out what I have used (it is my Sunday treat) .. .. but as always if anyone wants to know what I have used then just ask .. .. I am just being lazy!!!
So time for me to go and get our evening meal finished and served.
Catch you again soon.
Love
Stunning card Jules.

Oh wow Jules - this is simply gorgeous! Everything about it is beautiful - and the butterfly is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI vaguely recall the elastic game - so long as you didn't pinch the elastic from anyone's undergarments :)? Wasn't it called French skipping or something?
Thanks for the sweet comments about the playground :) Di xx
That butterfly is simply fantastic!! Gorgeous card!

It's been a glorious weekend hasn't it, Jules. I'm with you on a Summer filled with blue sky days. Trouble is nothing would ever get done!!
ReplyDeleteYou were very good not being tempted by all those ribbons, I'd be hopeless, I love ribbons and that brown polka dot one on your card is beautiful, in fact the whole card is, it's so elegant.
I envy you your baby cuddle, haven't had one of those in a a long time.
Hope Monday is good to you.
Hugs Lisax
Oh Jules that is simply stunning, I love the whole card design and that butterfly is beautiful. hugs Shirleyxxx
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome,Jules. I did not have to think twice about nominating you. Your work is truly stunning with that special touch of wondeful elegance. I have not been over commenting for a while but always see your lovely work in my Google reader, would not want to miss anything. This card you made is no exception. Adore it as much as others do.
ReplyDeleteMichaela xx
Ooh, Ooh Jules . . . you just bought back happy childhood memories . . . I used to play that elastic game for hours on end too. Damned if I can remember what it was called . . . but was excellent fun.
ReplyDeleteAlso . . . cats cradle on my hands . . . remember that? xxx
Great card hun, love the butterfly & that ribbon is scrummy!
ReplyDeleteHugs Shell xx
No matter how many bits of cream card you have, I bet I can beat it. My first wedding thing was for our son's wedding and my first cad crafting, really. I forgot that if more than one person lives in a house, they still only get one invitation to that address. So I had double what I needed already. then I always allow a good margin of extra in case of error. Even more card I will not want. I have a large Really Useful box full of pre-folded cards and envelopes to match. I also have enough Thank You peeloffs to stock a couple of shops, not to mention the horse shoes and Wedding Invitation peeloffs. You could be seeing a lot of cream cards on my blog in the near future. Not sure how I can use the peeloffs, though. Any suggestions? Your card today is so pretty, restrained and elegant. thank you for your visit and we did get the van emptied and spread all over the house. We get to return it all tonight when the van comes home again. Oh, joy! Have a good week. xx Maggie
ReplyDeleteHi Jules another stunning creation from you a beautiful card love it

ReplyDeleteAnother fab card, I used to play cats cradle...probably with my sis Sarn which is why we can both remember it!!! AND I can remember playing the elastic game, think Di is right it was called french skipping.............too much use of the brain cells in remembering that lot, so am gonna have a lie down now! xx
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH this is STUNNING! I don't know how you can make such a lovely card and say it was quick. Nearly everything I make takes me hours and never turns out as lovely as your cards.
ReplyDeleteHugs

What a gorgeous, gorgeous card. I love that delicate butterfly and how the polka dots are echoed in the ribbon. The scrip and the punched flowers and embossed piece... it is just so striking!
